Connect Local is a free program in Glen Eira run by Connecting Communities to Care, linking over 65’s to the wonderful social activities and programs in the local area.
It involves speaking with a trained professional, a Community Connector, to discuss what’s important to you. They will then find and access suitable activities for your wellbeing and enjoyment. This could be:
Social Activities like book clubs, art classes, gardening clubs, special interest groups
Healthy Lifestyle Programs such as exercise and walking groups, sporting clubs, and adult learning classes
Volunteering Opportunities
Support Services like legal or financial advice or grief counselling.

If you, or someone you know would like support connecting to the community then contact one of our friendly connectors today on 1800 929 022 or email enquiries@connectlocal.org.au or go to www.connectlocal.org.au
We are a collaboration with Bolton Clarke, Australian Disease Management Association, Alfred Health and South Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network, funded by The Ian Potter Foundation.
